Nowadays solar energy has become the essential part of our system. It is a renewable source for electricity generation. But the problem is that the output power generated is highly nonlinear because of the nonlinear characteristics of semiconductor devices (diode, transistor). It also depends on irradiation intensity and the overall conditions.Therefore, plenty of research works have been performed to optimize the performance and obtain maximum power from the PV panels. This paper provides a brief literature review on maximum power point tracker (MPPT) for these systems. For this purpose, the PV circuit structure with its mathematics model is presented. Then, recent publications on various design methodologies are reviewed.
